Have you heard of longevity medicine? It’s next-level healthcare—and Dr. Darshan Shah is one of the pioneers leading the way.

In this episode, Dr. Shah shares how he’s transforming the way we treat women in perimenopause and postmenopause by focusing on real root causes—not just symptom management. 

We cover:

• What he learned about women’s health as a surgeon

• How he approaches menopause differently than most doctors

• The truth about hormone testing during the transition

• The real drivers of Alzheimer’s, osteoporosis, and heart disease in women

• Why so many doctors are confused about menopause care

• Exactly how to empower yourself at your first menopause visit

• How he uses the Wellness Wheel to individualize care

• A peek into cutting-edge therapies like Therapeutic Plasma Exchange and NAD+

 

Darshan Shah, MD, is a health and wellness specialist, board-certified surgeon, published author, entrepreneur, and founder of Next Health, the first, largest and fastest-growing health optimization and longevity clinic. He began his career at an accelerated MD program and earned his medical degree at the age of 21, becoming one of the youngest doctors in the United States. He then continued his training at the Mayo Clinic, and earned his MBA from Harvard Business School in 2015. As a longevity medicine specialist, he has advised thousands of patients on how to optimize their well-being and extend their healthspan and lifespan.
